Case Study: Social Transformation drives reduction of 67% in footprint and 2.35x reduction in risk

The Problem:

Global FMCG brand was challenged around their global social operating model; they had an incomplete view of their social footprint, limited global governance processes, with excessive team and agency costs due to duplicative scopes across teams and markets.

The Solution:

RMA designed and managed multiple, outcome oriented workstreams to improve operational efficiencies, build team capabilities and reduce exposure to risk. This followed a period of discovery to uncover and map the client's social account, agency and stakeholder footprint.

RMA workstreams across the 18 month period included:

  • Identification and removal of accounts that were unclaimed and / or inactive

  • Improving security settings on accounts inc. transfer of ‘ownership’ from 3rd party to in-house

  • Establishing a centralised model, team and process to deliver global to local social governance

  • Management of senior stakeholders and 3rd parties including agencies and social partners

Results:

  • 67% reduction in client’s global social footprint

  • 50% reduction in global social agency support costs

  • $800k saved in global social tooling costs

  • 2.35x improvement in social account compliancy measures post implementation
